Chapter 47: Chapter 47 Bai Yan Has a System

Even if Bai Yan is the female lead, isn’t she thinking a bit too highly of herself?

She really wants it all, doesn’t she? Xiao Jinsheng was so furious that her heart was practically on fire.

Meanwhile, the conversation between Bai Yan and the system continued.

Bai Yan accused: [If it weren’t for you losing control yesterday, how would she have had the chance to sleep someone and rank up to Five Stars? Last night, when I was waiting for her to come out of the dense forest, she was still Three Stars.]

The system retorted helplessly: [So you’re blaming me again? I already told you that controlling her depends on the calmness of her surroundings and her emotional state. Who knew she’d wake up in the middle of the night? And what even woke her up?]

Bai Yan sighed: [So what now? It’s been less than a month, and her spiritual power has risen from One Star to Five Stars, surpassing the effort I put in for an entire year.]

The system clicked its tongue: [Well, tough luck. I told you her Beast Husbands have exceptional talent.]

Bai Yan shouted angrily: [Do you think I didn’t already know her Beast Husbands are talented?! I told you long ago to modify her memory, make her divorce those five Beast Husbands of hers. And what did you accomplish?]

The system got annoyed: [Blaming me yet again? I already controlled her to sell Mo Jiao. You’re the one who didn’t act fast enough when she went back to the black market and brought him back!]

As Xiao Jinsheng listened to the conversation between Bai Yan and the system, her initial shock slowly turned into amusement.

She wanted to keep eavesdropping, but it was clear that Bai Yan and the system, despite shifting blame onto each other, knew how to prioritize the situation overall.

When facing Xiao Jinsheng, Bai Yan still smiled warmly. "Jinsheng, I’ve gone on many missions in the Mist West. I genuinely want to help you. Please don’t reject my goodwill again, all right?"

"Sure," Xiao Jinsheng replied.

Bai Yan was stunned for a moment.

"Jinsheng, what did you say...?" Bai Yan asked hesitantly.

"Isn’t this what you wanted? Our mission this time is to collect ten Three-Star Mutant Beast hearts. It should be very easy for you, right?" Xiao Jinsheng tilted her chin slightly. "Bai Elder Sister, you’re the one who said you wanted to help me."

Hearing Xiao Jinsheng call her "Sister" again left Bai Yan momentarily dazed.

She could vaguely recall fainting from hunger by the roadside as a child, and it was Xiao Jinsheng who took her to the terminal shelter.

Bai Yan quickly suppressed those childhood memories, smiling at Xiao Jinsheng as she said, "Then I’ll head back to call Jin Ao and the others. Later, we’ll help you kill the Mutant Beasts first."

Xiao Jinsheng responded half-heartedly, but Bai Yan, facing her indifference, lowered her gaze with a touch of disappointment and made a promise: "Jinsheng, no matter what opinions you have about me, I’m willing to help you."

After speaking, Bai Yan turned around with a look of grievance, picked up her Fog Dispersing Lamp, and left alone.

To an uninformed observer, it would certainly seem like Xiao Jinsheng was the vicious one, bullying and oppressing Bai Yan.

"Your spiritual power leveled up, and suddenly you’ve grown guts too?" Mo Jiao shot her a look. "Have you forgotten how close you were to being controlled by her last night? And now you still dare to interact with her."

"The past is the past. I’ve evolved now." Xiao Jinsheng said with a mysterious tone.

She curled her finger, signaling the five men to come closer, then whispered, "I can hear her thoughts. She’s having conversations with some sort of system."

Upon hearing this, the five men all fell silent.

Su Ye reached out a hand to check her forehead’s temperature. "You didn’t catch a chill last night, did you?"

Xiao Jinsheng, incensed, aimed a kick at Su Ye’s calf. She failed to budge him and ended up losing her balance, tumbling into Que Zelian’s arms instead.

"I’m telling the truth. If you don’t believe me now, just wait and see." Xiao Jinsheng huffed indignantly.

"We’re not doubting you," Que Zelian responded. "I’m just trying to figure out why you couldn’t hear her before."

"Now that you’ve changed, there’s something you both share in common—your spiritual power is at Five Stars." Que Zelian speculated, "Could it be that you can only hear someone’s inner thoughts if your spiritual level matches theirs or surpasses it?"

Xiao Jinsheng hadn’t considered this before.

Her focus had been consumed entirely by Bai Yan’s conversations with the system.

Que Zelian’s suggestion suddenly made a lot of sense to her.

After all, there was no way she could inexplicably hear Bai Yan and the system’s conversations by coincidence.

Regardless of the reason, now that she could listen in, Xiao Jinsheng planned to use this chance to uncover more of Bai Yan’s secrets.

Two teams that usually greeted each other with hostility and hair-pulling were now sitting together peacefully for the first time.

Jin Ao and his group eyed Xiao Jinsheng’s side with clear disdain.

On the other hand, Xiao Jinsheng’s five Beast Husbands didn’t bother hiding their contempt for Bai Yan and her group.

The only ones smiling were Bai Yan and Xiao Jinsheng.

Bai Yan smiled because her plans were making progress.

Xiao Jinsheng smiled because she was enjoying the gossip.

Although Xiao Jinsheng couldn’t hear Bai Yan’s private thoughts, as long as Bai Yan conversed with the system, those exchanges reached her ears.

Both parties bickered freely in their dialogue, likely assuming no one could overhear their internal conversation, which led to candid, revealing exchanges.

After an hour of fruitless searching for Mutant Beasts, Xiao Jinsheng claimed she was tired and wanted a break.

Immediately, one of Bai Yan’s Beast Husbands was displeased.

Bai Yan’s gray wolf Beastman, Kui Mao, glared at Xiao Jinsheng with disapproval. "We’re helping you on this mission, and you’re already calling for a rest after just an hour? Isn’t that a waste of our time?"

"Feel free to back out and stop helping me now," Xiao Jinsheng shot back coldly.

Bai Yan tried to soothe Kui Mao. "Jinsheng is my younger sister. She may be a little delicate by nature, but it’s just because she’s still adapting to missions. Let’s cut her some slack."

"Xiao Yan, you’re just too kind-hearted," Kui Mao said, full of concern. "You’ve fulfilled your responsibility as an elder sister, but look at her. Other than opposing you, where’s her sense of being a younger sister?"

System: [Host, lift the strand of hair on the left side of your face. From Xiao Jinsheng’s Beast Husbands’ perspective, your face looks partially hidden.]

Upon hearing the system’s reminder, Bai Yan gracefully adjusted her hair and, a bit bashfully, let go of Kui Mao’s hand.

Xiao Jinsheng, overhearing the system’s voice in her head, looked at Bai Yan with a speechless expression, frozen where she stood.

She turned her gaze back to her own five Beast Husbands.

One was sharpening his weapon, another was watching her closely, while the rest were either guarding the perimeter or completely ignoring Bai Yan’s group. Not one of them even bothered glancing in Bai Yan’s direction.

"Unbelievable. How can someone have so much drama?" Xiao Jinsheng muttered in disbelief.

System: [Host, your confusion skill is off cooldown. Who do you want to target?]

Ecstatic at the news, Bai Yan quickly glanced toward Xiao Jinsheng’s side and asked cautiously: [What star-level are the remaining awake Beast Husbands of Xiao Jinsheng?]

System: [Not asleep? Mo Jiao is Six Stars, Yu Yunxiao is Four Stars, and Huaiqing is also Four Stars.]

Bai Yan decided: [Lock onto Mo Jiao. He has the most conflict with Xiao Jinsheng. Even if we’re discovered, her anger will be directed at him.]

What was initially a piece of entertaining gossip for Xiao Jinsheng now felt intolerable.

It was like scooping up what seemed like pudding only to find it was feces.

At the same time, she figured out Bai Yan’s current goal.

Just like her, it was all about leveling up spiritual power.

But she held on to basic morals, only building her power with her legal partners.

Bai Yan... Even with six Beast Husbands of her own, Bai Yan still had her sights set on someone else’s men.

Right now, Xiao Jinsheng just wanted to fly over and plant a solid kick on Bai Yan’s face, just to see how her face could possibly be this audacious.

Even if it was for spiritual power growth, there were countless unmarried Beastmen in the Mist Continent. Why go after married ones?

Was it simply because they were conveniently close?

The more Xiao Jinsheng thought about it, the angrier she became. However, at the moment, the number and power levels of Beast Husbands on her side couldn’t guarantee a win in a fight against Bai Yan’s group.

And on top of it all, Bai Yan had a system with unclear "golden-finger" abilities.

At that moment, Bai Yan smiled and approached with apparent friendliness. "Jinsheng, I came over to chat with you."

"Talk? Sure. Just wait a moment," Xiao Jinsheng replied, getting to her feet.

Seeing her reaction being surprisingly agreeable this time, Bai Yan nodded and stood aside, waiting.

To everyone’s surprise, Xiao Jinsheng briskly walked over to Mo Jiao. With a sudden leap, she latched onto him and sank her teeth onto his lips in a kiss.
